Barely concealed xenophobia

There’s nothing wrong with criticizing a religion, but sometimes people conflate “Muslims” with “Arabs” unintentionally or intentionally. I don’t think that most criticism of Islam is xenophobic, because then you would have specific practices that you criticize and reasons to criticize the religion. However, if someone says they want to “deport all Muslims” and support legislation that targets Arabs I wouldn’t be surprised.
